Kyrie Irving is a better player than Jrue Holiday

Kyrie's better... than Jrue Holiday? Yeah. Because I don't think he's better than Tatum but has hasn't been playing out of this, out of his mind. Their championship experience supersedes the Celtics because their championship guy is better.

Subjective player comparison, though Kyrie is generally considered the more skilled offensive player while Jrue is a defensive specialist.

Kyrie Irving has never lost a closeout game

Kyrie Irving has never lost a closeout game. That's interesting. Yeah. So just remember that if you're new to DraftKings, listen up.

At the time of the take, Kyrie was indeed 14-0. He subsequently lost Game 4 of the 2024 WCF to the Timberwolves, breaking the streak shortly after this episode aired.

The Celtics are a seasoned team that knows how to make big plays in high-pressure moments

The Celtics are a seasoned team that knows how to make big plays and that's what they did time and time again in this series. In the past when it feels like they turtle up in close games and kind of turn into more iso ball... they didn't do that at all. They found a way to win.

The Celtics eventually won the 2024 NBA Finals, supporting the idea that they were a seasoned team that knew how to win big games.

The NBA scheduling is crazy for making teams wait until June 6th to start the Finals

I'm rooting for double sweep just so we can make fun of the NBA scheduling. Fans have to book their hotels and tickets months ago... there's no way anyone, any fan books their hotels and plane tickets for the NBA Finals months in advance. It doesn't make any sense.

This is a subjective opinion on league policy, though the scheduling was indeed fixed and resulted in a long layoff.

My 'dinner simulator' habit of building food orders and not buying them is a sign of good self-control

Instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food, I'll just pull up the apps, Uber Eats... and I'll just like put together an order of what I would order if I were to get something. And then I clear my cart and I go to bed... It's really good self-control.

Subjective self-assessment of his own behavior.

Bryce Harper will return to being a beast this season after disrespect from his GM

Bryce Harper's been nothing but good. And Dave Dombrowski disrespecting him like that. Bryce has every right to be upset about that. ... I think he's gonna be a beast this year. He's gonna return to being a beast.

Depends on Harper's 2026 season stats.

Landon Dickerson and Lane Johnson will definitely be back for the Eagles next season

They'll be back. They'll be back... a couple months away from the game and you know, your body starts to heal up a little bit. You start to get that itch, they'll be back.

Will be determined by roster moves in the 2026 offseason.
